And seriously you guys claim Bush was dumber than a box of rocks, then you claim he is some ulitimate evil with a devious plot to take over the world. That kinda contradicts itself, you can't have it both ways.

Bush is dumber than a box of rocks. The small army of people that he put in key roles around him (and who have been in Washington for the last 30 years) aren't. Morally questionable ideologues, yes. Idiots, no.

The only way it would be "trying to have it both ways" is if your strawman was not a strawman.
